Proms

Let a pair of our quality horses take you back in time and create the fairy tale princess dream of arriving in traditional style, grace and elegance as the ‘Belle of the Ball’ in one of our many beautiful prom carriages with coachman and groom turned out to an immaculate standard.

Special Occasions

We can tailor make a horse drawn carriage drive to suit you personal requirements. This could be a birthday, anniversary, wedding proposal or any special occasion.

Country Drives

Our standard country drive from our base in Layer Marney starts with meeting our horses in their home environment and learning about each individual horse and their character.

Funerals

Send off your loved one in style in our black or white horse drawn hearse pulled by a pair or a team of horses. Alternatively, we have our Country Style Hearse with a solid oak coffin deck which is much less formal, ideal for woodland and green burials and for lovers of the countryside and the great outdoors.
